Circadian Bodies Dance Class - Private Sessions at East London

From 66 £ /h

CircadianBodies is a Movement Practice blending contemporary Dance and Capoeira within the context of neuroscience and health of the contemporary body.

A few words about me

I am a dancer & educator with a background in release technique, Capoeira and somatic practices. My work blends improvisation, rhythm, and humour, shaped by both my artistic and scientific backgrounds—I hold a Master of Pharmacy from kings_college_london alongside a professional dance degree form @horohronos Athens and an MA from @theplacelondon. This intersection fuels my exploration of physical intelligence, emotional awareness, spatial connection.

My choreographic work bridges disciplines, from NOSTOS: Migrating Bodies, Migrating Dances, merging Capoeira, Greek traditional dance, and VR, to 'Circadian Bodies', my evolving practice on biological rhythms and sensory movement, now taught at chisenhaledance Dance. I've researched with ferus.animi.terra.nova, bageorgeilias at Dance Athens and farofa_capoeira at Corpo Fechado. I have choreographed projects like 'Khaki Versus Colours’, Pessoas and NOSTOS, exploring socio-political themes through movement.

I’m passionate about making movement accessible—whether in performance, teaching, or community work!

Our biological clock—the circadian rhythm—shapes how we move, feel, and connect with the world. One of the most powerful ways to regulate it is by immersing ourselves in nature, moving with all our senses awake.

👀 Seeing the shifting light filtering through the trees.
👂 Hearing the waterfall’s endless flow, the birds composing music in real-time.
🤲 Touching the textures of the earth—wood, water, stone—letting them shape our movement.
❄️ Feeling the cold water awaken our system, sharpening presence and resilience.
⚖️ Balancing on uneven ground, adapting to nature’s ever-changing surfaces.
👅 Tasting the land itself—local fruits, food made by the people rooted in the place.

Our bodies are meant to move with nature, not against it. To attune, not control. To listen, not dictate.

I try to guide your natural movement rhythm, while creating climbing or stretching games with the surrounding environment, either indoors or outdoors !
